"It's impossible to get to the airport in half an hour.The rain is too heavy.Look at the traffic in front of us.Plus, it's unsafe to drive too fast in weather like this."

The taxi driver said warm-heartedly when he saw her anxious face and wet clothes, "You shouldn't be in the rain when you are pregnant.Come in the car and wait till the rain dies down a little.However, Christina had no time to wait.Her face turned pale from standing in the rain for a long time.She didn't say a word but shook her head at the driver.She clenched the phone in her right hand, and her heart was beating wildly.The voices were replaying in her mind.

"The shrapnel fragment in Patric’s brain has caused many complications, affecting his visual, auditory, and sensory nerves.He doesn't have a lot of time left."

"Grandpa will send Patric to Seattle tonight.I heard that he fell down the stairs and was in a coma.Grandpa didn't want us to go together.Try to get to the International Airport in 30 mins.Patric would love to have you aside.Be quick"

"They said you left Patric when he was in a coma.How could you do something like this to him, Christina?"

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the night was coming.

Christina stood by the sidewalk like a person who had just lost her soul.She looked at the traffic in front of her and the row of dim orange street lights.Her mind went blank, and she didn't know what to do.

Her tears were mixed with the rain, blurring her vision.

The surging uneasiness in her chest was strangling her heart.

She felt that she was suffocating.She didn't want to leave, but grandfather had chased her out.She wanted to go back and see Patric a lot.

"Christina, don't stand in the rain.Come back with me first, please."

There was a familiar voice coming from behind, together with urgent footsteps running towards her.

It was Betty.She had thought that Christina would get into the taxi, but she didn't do so.Besides, her expression wasn't good at all.

Betty was afraid that something would happen to Christina and followed her out.

However, her voice had pulled Christina back from her daze, but she looked shocked, as if she was afraid to be caught again.

Christina started to run forward without looking back.

"Christina, be careful! Watch out for the cars!"

Betty admitted that she was selfish.She didn't care about Patrick that much.

However, Christina was her niece.

Betty couldn't bear seeing her running in the rain with a pale face and a pregnant body.She regretted calling Mr.Hopkins earlier.

Christina was too stubborn, and she always ended up making herself hurt.

Betty didn't dare to chase after her anymore.She picked up her phone and called Derek for help.

Christina used one hand to support her very-much pregnant belly while running.
